Anime NYC, the largest anime convention on the East Coast, was filled with a variety of exciting events and updates during its 2025 session. News for a fan-favorite Star Wars project even cropped up! During the convention, a roundtable interview took place between Anime Trending and James Waugh, the executive producer of Star Wars: Visions. Waugh discussed what’s coming in the third season of the series.
The executive producer explained what made the first installment to the series unique, “What is a little different, I think, about this volume than Volume 1, because Volume 1 was very Jedi-heavy — steeped in kyber crystals and lightsabers, and clearly that’s like the most iconic aspect of the Star Wars franchise — but it’s a galaxy that’s so much richer than that.” He continued, highlighting what will make this season stand out compared to the previous two, “What I found with this volume is that a lot of the stories that sort of bubbled up to the top ended up being more sort of Resistance stories or Rebel stories, or bounty hunter stories. Not to say that there are no lightsabers throughout it. There most certainly are. But in comparison to the first volume, I think we get a broader picture of what the galaxy can be.”

Waugh stated that the show is “definitely not canon.” He explained the broader goal of the series, “We’re not really looking for stories about known Star Wars characters. Not to say that’s impossible…Usually, we’re looking for original, fresh perspectives so that Visions doesn’t become a sort of “What If” of Star Wars, but a unique expression and celebration of Star Wars elements people love.”
Star Wars: Visions is a series of shorts produced by various studios worldwide. The first series featured Japanese animation studios, while the second series had studios from a wider variety of countries involved. Creators are given mostly free rein for their episode, interpreting the idea of Star Wars without forcing it into the mold of long-established canon. The third series will also be anime-focused from Japanese animation studios. There will be nine episodes in total, and the series will be available to stream on Disney+.
